I HIGHLY suggest looking on Amazon.com (the American site). Majority of the time you don't pay tax AT ALL! Most American sellers don't have a problem shipping to Canada. It's worth a shot and could save you a TON of money. Check it out and let me know if this helps. :)

The exchange rate isn't that bad for you guys right now. There is a 9% difference. Here is the link:

And even if they have a different site for Canada, could you still not use the US site? And I just looked at your prices. Dude, you did get ripped. :(  Is it possible to return the parts? It would REALLY be worth it. You're looking at several hundred dollars!

I bought it from ncix so I messaged them demanding an explanation and asked If I could get a refund. Let's see what happens.

I actually remember the tax was like a $100 and the prices of some other parts may have been a bit higher...that's the problem here wayyy too high tax :'(  even on pc's :'(

Whatever you do, DON'T open the packaging. Almost every seller will accept refunds so long as the product isn't opened. Some actually do even with the package opened, but then again some don't. Your situation is a fine example of why I love to buy from Amazon. And even still, I always check to make sure that I'm actually buying from Amazon. Anyone can sell on Amazon, but the customer service isn't ever as good as if you were dealing with Amazon directly. I do hope that you can return the parts and get a fair price on them. Please let me know what happens. And I would definitely check into the chance that you could purchase from the US site. I don't know if you can, but it's worth checking on. The money you save would be immense.

I guess so.....but I have a bad feeling that it will all turn out to be tax like $150 of tax I have future plans of doing SLI with my card so I think I'll ask one of my relatives in the us to buy the parts for me then. thanks for all the help man :)  I'll let you know if i get a return msg from the store

If you have relatives here in the US then by ALL means buy it like that! Even after the cost of shipping them to you from your relative, you will save a bunch of money. I can say this with certainty for the simple reason that there isn't a sales tax on Amazon. Then figure in the less expensive prices on top of that and you're talking a PILE of money!
